Recently, many projects automaker showed its urban mini-cars powered by electric motors, and of course Honda can not stay indifferent. As promised three weeks ago, the Japanese company presents to the ongoing exhibition in Tokyo, his vision for the future of urban electric concept through EV-N. The appearance of the car that closely resembles the original Fiat 500, but hurry to justify Honda, they copied his design as EV-N model is inspired by the company 60 years. Despite its small size, Honda EV-N has four seats, the rear seats can be folded, providing more space for luggage. The ceiling of the car is a solar panel, which serves to generate electricity that is stored in a lithium-ion battery and is used to power the motor. For the moment no other details are available for Honda EV-N, and whether the vehicle will be released sometime in mass production, but certainly we can say that it would be quite suitable for movement in the mega polices.

Besides the hybrid concept of SUV, PX-MiEV, Mitsubishi introduced in Tokyo and cargo version of its model electric i-MiEV, but not reported when this modification will be available.

Honda currently share a little of facts about a concept four-EV-N. It is clear that the ceiling and a solar panel, supplying energy to the lithium-ion battery and electric motor. Really nice small car, with a little bit ugly design.
